Let’s hop into our time machine back to 2016. At Baselworld, Rolex announced two contemporary sports replica watches for sale with Arabic numerals – each serving as an update to a known collection in the brand’s stable of classic models. One was the Explorer 214270, the “Mark II” edition, with lumed three, six, and nine markers. The other was, as Tolkien once wrote, the return of the AAA UK fake Rolex Air-King watches … in a most unexpected way.

The high quality replica Rolex Air-King ref. 116900 watches represented a full redesign of the rather quaint Air-Kings of old. What once was nothing more than an Oyster Perpetual by a different name, was now something else entirely.

At 40mm, on an Oyster bracelet and featuring a cacophony of numerals, the best Rolex Air-King copy watches, with the arrival of the ref. 116900, became a more rugged tool watch. The dial is inspired by Rolex-designed Bloodhound (a car designed to travel at 1,000 mph) dashboard clocks – hence the use of a yellow crown, green Rolex wordmark, and that green seconds hand. This was Swiss movements Rolex replica watches being fun, wacky, and left-of-center. While it wasn’t necessarily a hit at launch, it’s become something of a cult fascination.

Just this year at Watches & Wonders, Rolex released new-and-improved cheap super clone watches with a professional case, tweaked numerals (that are lumed), and crown guards. Oh, and the colors remain.

The luxury fake Rolex Air-King ref. 116900 watches is one of the rare moments that we see Rolex “experimenting,” which is always fun to witness. So come along for a ride in a Bloodhound and enjoy this edition of The Spec Sheet.
